Ways for Friends and Fans

You Don't Have to Be a Big Company to Be Part of Blue on Black

We receive a lot of support from friends around the world. Whether it's the spare change from under your sofa cushions or a donation towards a specific piece of equipment, every little bit helps!

We have a couple of ideas outlined below, or let us know how you'd like to help.

Cover A Mile On Our Next Adventure - $10

Here's a fun way that almost anyone can join in! Sponsor as many miles as you wish.

For just $10, you help cover the costs of dog food, booties, equipment, and other costs of running down the trail. It’s an easy way to become involved in an amazing journey and help keep an incredible team of dogs on the trail!

Sponsor a Dog - $500

Each dog is a unique personality and a special member of our kennel. By sponsoring a dog, you help pay the cost to feed, care for, and train that dog for the season.

Pick your favorite dog to sponsor. One sponsor per dog - first come, first serve so don't let your favorite get away!

We'll list you on our website as a special member of our team. We'll also send you a packet with information all about your dog and send regular updates during training season. Keep an eye out for some really cool souvenirs at the end of the year!

Dog sponsors are welcome to visit us at Blue on Black Kennels and meet their own special dog.
